A suggestion i made on FB based on the prem scratching around for a side... Instead of Northampton riding at Oxford  Why not enter a side called British Lions and have Vatcher as team manager? Home track? They can be a touring side and can ride at any venue that can accomodate a Monday/Thursday as a one off If British Speedway is too much of a commitment for Woffy and Lambert, allow them to share the no.1 spot  Far from ideal but a fraction better than Northampton at Oxford to save the Prem   Or.... Help another nation develope their Speedway? Allow one of the French teams or German sides into the Prem to boost the numbers After all alot of mentions of BSB being an example of how to run a series but they do go to Assen         

Let's consider the situation logically. Why have no premiership clubs signed any riders? The answer is simple  Why be a sacrificial lamb when the numbers don't add up! They don't want one league but I'm afraid it's hobsons choice.

Whilst I agree I'm afraid we are going to have to bite the bullet on this one otherwise British Speedway has no future. One league with rookies is the only way forward.

Grading system doesn't protect them either. The best riders on 8+, 7+ and 6+ GSA's will still all be signed up by the PREM Clubs.   Just throwing something together as an example say 1 Rider on 8+, 7+ and 6+ Per Team. KING'S LYNN We'll have Harris, Rowe and Kerr IPSWICH We'll have King, Nicholls and Jenkins LEICESTER We'll have D. Thompson, Howarth and N. Morris   That's the problem here, A handful of Teams will be struggling to put a side together that's anywhere near satisfactory. Bottom line is.....Too Many Teams and Not Enough Good Riders to go around.

Unfortunately that museum was dismantled and a lot of stock was sold off a couple of years ago I think 

I've never understood the concept of fining a council though. The money gets diverted away from providing services, and then they put up council tax to cover the shortfall. So the ones causing the problem suffer no more punishment than the average Joe Public (and less effectively if they live in a different council area). Some other, more direct form of punishment of the individuals should be available
